A dark camellia branch against a background of vertical fiery stripes — red, ochre, peach, flowing from top to bottom, as if the silk itself were weeping watercolor. In Japan, the camellia (tsubaki) has a dual reputation: on the one hand, it is a harbinger of spring and a symbol of eternal love; on the other, the flower falls whole rather than petal by petal, which reminded people of sudden death and made the camellia a flower that samurai somewhat feared. Hence the name — mysticism in the most literal sense. Here I used two methods: ordinary batik and hot batik. First the camellia was painted in the Sumi-e method, and then with the help of wax I applied layers of paint.
